at their respective places of residence. The
w. C. T. T., of AIloway, presented a

it was sold on the Sabbath. The court

fore the court, but no specific charges be-
ing made the license was granted. The
following are copies of the circumstances:
To THE Hon. ALFRED REED

lieving that the sale of Intoxicating liquor is a

We wish to do everything We can toward

To HIS Honor, JUDGE ALFRED REED;
We. the Woman's Christian Temperance

DANI AND EEAUEEGAED.

The controversy between ex-President
Davis and General Beauregard, growing
out of the remarks let fall by the former
at the unwilling of JohnstOns statue at
New Orleans some time ago, will excite
interest, especially among old soldiers.
Mr.. Davis, as will be remembered, in his
speech on that occasion, said Genera!
Johnston made but one mistake in the
conduct of the battle of Shiloh. That
mistake, he said, was 10 not personally
making the order of march from Corinth
to Pittsburg Landing, instead of entrust-
ing it to another. AS appears from the
dispatches this morning, and the explana-
ton of Mr.. Davis himself, the remarks
were intended for no less a parsonage than
General BeauregaId, who, during the war,
never did possess much of President
Davis friendship or esteem. General
Beauregard comes out in a communication
reply, and Mr.. Davis makes a rejoinder in
which he makes his language more clear
and emphatic. Thus, after twenty years
the ill-feeling between these two promi-
nent leaders of the south, in the war be-
tween the states, is again famed into a
flame, after the great struggle in which
they so conspicuously figured has been
consigned to sober, impartial and dispas-
sionate history.
The judgment of Mr.. Davis, himself a
military man, in laying the blame of the
outcome of Shiloh ON Beauregard, will
have great weight with the future histo-
rian, who will also weigh his well known
dislike for Beauregard during the war.

Ammonia IN Baking Powders.

From the Scientific American.
Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry, none is more important
than the uses to which common ammonia
can be properly put as leaveniug agent,
and which indicate that this familiar salt is
hereafter to perform an active part in the
preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon knife and hold
over flame, and it will almost imme-
diately be entirely developed into gas, and
pass off into the air. The gas thus form
ed is staple composition of nitrogen
and hydrogen. No residue is left from
the ammonia. This gives it superiority
as a leavening power over soda and
cream of tartar used alone, and has in
duced its use as a supplement to these ar
ticles. A small quantity of ammonia in
the dough is effective in producing bread
that will be lighter, sweeter and more
wholesome than that risen by any
other leavening agent. When it is
aated upon by the heat of baking, the
leavening gas that raises the dough is
liberas ed. In this act it uses itself up, as
it were; the ammonia is entirely dlffused,
leaving no trace or residuum whatever. The
light, fluffy, faky appearance so desirable
in biscuits, etc, and so sought after by
professional cooks, is said to be impaired
to them only by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods have
been quick to avail themselves of this use
full discovery, and the handsomest and
best bread and cake are now largely risen
by the aid of ammonia combined, OF
course, with other leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known pro,
ducts of the laboratory. If, as seems tc
be justly claimed for it, the application Of
its properties to the purposes of cooking
results in giving US lighter and more
wholesome bread, biscuit and cake, it viii
prove boon to dyspeptic humanity, and
will speedily force itself into general ust
in the new field to which science has as
signed it.

TEXAS DOCTORS.

The meeting begun here yesterday of
the Texas Medical association calls atten-
ton to the fact that the profession in this
state constitutes as respectable and influ-
entail body in the medical as the state
itself does in the political world. In the
last few years, as perusal of the files OF
Daniels Medical journal, the recognized
exponent of the profession in Texas, will
show, the surgeons and the physicians of
the state have not only kept pace with the
general advance of medical science, but
have commanded the respect of distin
guished practitioners abroad. In the
field of the microscope Texas physician
has, within the last year or two, made dis
coveries that claimed the attention OF
leading psychologists in the north ant
east. Within the period mentioned
Texas surgeons have so success
fully performed some of the great
difficult and dangerous operations as to
excite the surprise of their brethren al
the older seats of the medical sciences.
In fact, it may be said, without any
thought of tlattery .or exaggeration, tina
the State Medical association of Texas
representing allopathic medicine in
this state, takes rank with similar asso-
Citations in the north and east. Outside
of professional character, it is proba
bly, as intelligent a body of men as have
met in Austin for some years, composed
of men who can estimate mankind al
they really are, and among whom crank
ism is scarcely known.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to theiI
friends in curing consumption, severe
coughs, Group, asthma, pneumonia, and in
fact all throat and lung diseases. No per
son can use it without immediate relief
Three doses will relieve any case, and We
consider it the duty of all druggists tC
recommend it to the poor, dying con
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, al
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last year
and no one case where it failed was re
ported. Such a medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Asl
your druggist about it. Sample bottle
to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, Il
cents. Sold by all druggists and dealers

construed to repeal an act entitled San
act to authorize counties, cities and

TIE Posts parallel between the present
Irish contest in parliament and the polit-
cal events in this country succeeding the
civil war is unique and well wrought out,
except that credit is given neither to
Parnell and other Irish patriots, nor to
the southern men of our country who
figured in the reconstruction times. One
sentence in the Posts flight of beautiful
imagery is caught away from its fellows
and expresses for Us a sentiment we
would heartily endorse-"People in the
United States have right to their sym.
pathy with Gladstone, for his life OF
policy is bright with the same principle,
of justice to all men which has illuminated
our century of national history"

On the Drive.

Of the attractive styles for spring there
are few which can claim more honors IN
that line than the array of goods displayed
by the Milburn Wagon company. Their
warehouse on East Pecan street presents
a tempting display to anyone who is de-
sirous of obtaining the latest thing in the
carriage line. Buggies light, buggies
heavy, for single or for double driving,
ph@tons, surries, sulkies and vehicles of
every desirable kind, are to be seen in
almost endless variety. A speciality is
made of the famous Nicholson make of
the Albert Downing 81 Co. buggy, guaran-
teed one of the most durable easy-riding
and stylish turnouts on the market. Call
on the resident manager, Mr.. R. D. Gun
ningham for particulars.
